=================================================================

Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

This week's issue features the second part of our series on XML parser
performance, which is focused on XML object parsers.

XML Parser Benchmarks: Part 2

http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2007/05/16/xml-parser-benchmarks-part-2.html

Also, there's an event you should be aware of: O'Reilly's Tools of Change
(TOC) Conference. If you are involved at all with content, media or
publishing of some kind, you should check out the TOC Conference being
held June 18-20 in San Jose, CA. Take a look at the keynotes, speakers
list, and tutorials here: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/toc. The speakers
presenting at this conference are amazing. Be sure you
catch Jimmy Wales (of Wikipedia fame) speak about "Free Culture and the
Future of Publishing." If you would like to attend, please reference this

The Weekly Tab Sweep

I initially thought that I wanted an iPhone, since my primary need for
a new cellphone is one that will sync *easily* with my Mac mini and
Powerbook. But now I'm not so sure...maybe I want one of these
instead:

I stole some good ideas from this recently:

FWIW, I think the Wufoo interface may be the best one I've ever seen
in a web app.

If you work in any technical field, this will come in handy:

I'm something of a Linda and TupleSpaces devotee; hence PyLinda
(http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~aw/pylinda) is probably worth a look.

As always, thanks for reading!
